Since this request didn't work + properly anyway in the last release, it doesn't harm too much to + change the syntax. + + * src/roff/troff/input.cc (substring_macro): Use loops to get + the real string length (ignoring COMPATIBLE_SAVE and + COMPATIBLE_RESTORE) and offsets. + Implement change described above. + + * man/groff_char.man, tmac/doc-common (doc-header), tmac/doc.tmac + (doc-do-Bd-args, doc-do-Bl-args: Changed accordingly. + + * NEWS, doc/groff.texinfo, man/groff_diff.man: Updated. + +2002-06-03 Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org> + + Make .chop work with .de1 and friends.
